Carbon3.ai: Derbyshire

The Carbon3.ai AI data center is a planned modular facility located adjacent to the Erin Landfill and Valencia Energy Centre in Duckmanton, Derbyshire. The proposal includes up to five data center pods which will draw their power from off-grid renewable energy generated at the landfill site (likely from landfill gas). This development is part of Carbon3.ai's broader £1 billion commitment to building a sovereign, sustainable, and UK-owned AI infrastructure network, aiming to provide secure, high-performance compute capacity aligned with the government's goal for national AI resilience.
